Isaiah 3:24 And instead of a sweet smell, there shall be stench, and instead of a girdle a cord, and instead of curled hair baldness, and instead of a stomacher haircloth.

Stench. The Jews are noted on this account, as if in consequence of this curse, or of their being confined to prisons, etc. Foetentium Judaeorum et tumultuantium saepe taedio percitus. --- M. Aurelius "was often weary of the stinking and seditious Jews." (Marcellin ii.)
